UKPassats

Good luck in the new job, Good to know some people are getting back on there feet, however small the numbers.

I too run genuine AMG wheels, You need spigot rings as the bore on mercs is 66.1 i believe where as on vw's i believe there 57.1, These can be aquired off ebay or i imagine most alloy and tyre stockists Also the bolts on mine are longer due to the standard passat ones not been long enough. You dont ...

The thing is, the only time they'll stop been like they are is when every other country stops kissing there arses and trying to follow everything they do. Dont get me wrong, I dont dislike america as a country because i love some of the things they have compared to what we dont have, But every count...

I bet there's not one forum around where they dont have some idiot on it that likes to think he knows it all. Just how things are mate, You get them everywhere you go, Not just americans but worldwide, The problem i have as regards america is that the media especially the UK media, put america on th...

The thing is though i'm not asking them to turn a blind eye, These exact same headlights passed the test last year and yet this year it failed because of them, And this is one of my main gripes with MOT's. For the past 2 years these headlamps have been in, And in those 2 years i've seen fine at nigh...

No this was a different Testing station, Basically i have alot of problems in sheffield finding someone who can get it onto a ramp with it been so low, and sometimes some say "yeah we do low cars mate" then they see it and say yeah we can but not that low, which i find funny and poo at the...

lol its really hard to explain, it was like a little metal loop, like you had to push it outwards and slide it up to the next one?

Rubbish explanation there, but i cant think of any other way to explain it lol

I took one of the lights off, and can someone tell me if i found the right thing, Its bang in the middle, tiny little lever little tricky to get to because its between the two lights themselves?

I'm going to take one off now i'm going to be majorly pee'd if they'ved failed it and there is.

FK

Well, I took my car in today for the MOT thinking everything should be alright etc, And when it came to testing the headlights, they failed because there LHD headlamps, There is no switch on the back of them to change them to RHD when i told them that they passed last year with the same headlamps in...

I'm a fan

Amount of times your at maplins they'll be creating a special parking space for you soon haha

Funny this as i was only saying to myself the other day when browsing on here that this car deserves to be june's car of the month and here it is.

Well done mate really nice car indeed

Spoke to the mechanic this morning who is doing the brakes on the car and he told me not to worry as its not a testable thing on them so happy days

Yeah since i'm getting mixed answers on it, sort of leaves me feeling a little on edge about it, Cars going in for all the brakes doing tommorow, so i might just ask him too see what he thinks, everything else on the car is fine apart from that.

Got my MOT coming up soon and the airbag light comes on all the time due to the the connectors underneath the new seats not been the same, and i dont have money to get them properly done by an electrician at all and i aint touching it so i was wondering if anyone knew which fuse it was to remove the...

All comes down to how mechanically minded you are at the end of the day, There's no way i could get some of the bolts out due to how close the subframe was to the sump itself, meaning the entire subframe needs to be dropped, which then means you need an engine hoist to keep the engine supported whil...

Well i've shamelessly stolen this picture too, but my centre console is like this and mines a B5 too

I believe you can buy them, but then at a guess i'd say it would mean re-locating your cd changer, i know on mine, in the boot it has a wire to connect the changer up, but i dont actually have one in at the moment.

Believe a few people have asked this before.

Its not on the road yet mate, wont be on the road for another 2 weeks almost, due to me going away this weekend and i've other more important things to spend the money on right now too, But it is making me realise how much i take having a car for granted

Sump was £84 from euro car parts

I'm saying if yours is lowered 70-80mm looking at them pics mines 100mm easy.

On a word of warning though, watch your sump mate inless you want to be like me carless at the moment haha

Well considering i've bought the sump already so i dont have to pay for that, got a price this morning and he said if everything goes to plan at 5 hours labour it'll be

Well its booked in just for a quick look at it tommorow, see what he reckons to removing it and then he'll give me a quote
